I introduced this model in 2005. Using the "Selmer bent" behind the bridge sounboard design permitted me to move the bridge back towards the tail block, bringing the first frets closer to you for a comfortable experience. This also gives the strings a stronger break angle at the bridge which is higher, part of the reason this instrument emulates an upright bass so well, both in sound and projection.

This ergonommic fretless acoustic bass is made from curly maple and as most of my instruments, the soundboard is red spruce, while the fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece and headstock overlay are made of curly hop hornbeam. Notice the "bent behind the bridge soundboard" and the exquisite flame pattern of the fingerboard.
